Moto Guzzi V85 TT vs Ducati XDiavel Comparison

The Moto Guzzi V85 TT is a stylish motorcycle which is a hot take on an adventure motorcycle, from Moto Guzzi. Here, TT stands for Tutto Tureno, which is Italian speak for all-terrain. It gets a bunch of electronics like traction control, ABS, riding modes, full-colour TFT and Bluetooth connectivity. In ters of cycle parts, the motorcycle also gets a large fuel tank, adjustable windscreen and spoked wheels shod with dual-sport riders. The 853 cc, transverse v-twin, two-valve engine makes 75 bhp at 7,500 rpm, which is slightly lower than the earlier model's 79 bhp. The engine now produces 82 Nm of peak torque at 5,000 rpm, as against 81.3 Nm of the previous model. The problem though, is limited reach of the brand and poor brand recall.

The standard XDiavel costs ₹ 15.87 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). So, if you're looking for a cruiser with looks that stand out, and with edge-of-the-seat performance, the Ducati XDiavel could well be that bike for you. But the only way to really describe the experience of what the Ducati XDiavel is - you have to get astride and grab a handful of that throttle. Life could suddenly get very interesting indeed.
